EcoCaddy are a fleet of pedal-assisted electric trikes you’ve more than likely seen zipping around the streets and you might have even jumped on for a free ride through the city. But did you know they also run excellent 90 minute city tours and that from now until the end of Adelaide Fringe 2022 you can get 15% off when you use the code “kids15”
We’ve been on a few tours now and they’re all brilliant! The 90 minute tours will take you through Adelaide’s beautiful parks, playgrounds, gardens, street art and historic points around and their very knowledgeable guides have some great stories and fun facts to share about our brilliant city.
Did you know Alice in Wonderland can be found in Rymill Park? Did you know there is a golden bee at the top of beehive corner? Do you know where the purple pipes in the Parklands go?
I’ve EcoCaddy-ed with my kids and also with a group of friends and on all occasions the review is the same….. “THAT WAS GREAT!” It really is a lot of fun to zip around the city on one of these. They’re comfortable, safe and environmentally friendly! Take a ride with the kids to learn about some of Adelaide’s history or book a tour next time you have interstate guests to help them get their bearings. Gift vouchers are available and it makes a FANTASTIC birthday/Christmas gift idea.

I. LOVE. MARKETS! I've been on both sides of the market stall, and I am a big fan. Give me a fresh juice, some live music, and some cheese samples and I will come a running. Here in Adelaide we are so lucky to have so many fantastic markets to choose from so we've gathered up the ones we know about and added them all to this page. It's updated constantly with new markets added all the time so make sure you check back each weekend to find out where your local market is, or discover a new Adelaide market to check out this weekend!
Just for a bit of fun, every year here at Kids in Adelaide, we engage the help of our huge local audience to hunt down the best babyccinos in South Australia. We then give you guys the only list you'll need for the winter..... the top ten BEST Babyccinos in SA! Perfect for grandparent outings with our little people, play dates, catch ups and an excuse to get out of the house with kids on a weekend. 2024 nominations, and voting have now closed. Formerly this was just limited to 'Adelaide's Best Babyccino' - but regional SA wanted in, and have delivered the goods in the past few years, so why not! We're talking sprinkles, marshmallows, extra chocolate, cute cups, chocolate dipped spoons and all those extra little surprises that can turn a quick café stop into an absolute highlight for the day, all for just a few bucks. Some venues are nominated for their service or for the fact that their warm frothy offering is FREE, cheap or set with the back drop of the beach, a playground or indoor play corner! 2024 WINNER....our community has spoken and we are pleased to have tallied up the votes to announce....…
You won't ever regret taking the beautiful short stroll in to the centre of Adelaide's Botanic Garden to Evergreen Deli with your kids, where families can experience the magic of nature and exceptional café food (inspired by the gardens) combined. You'll quickly forget that you are in the heart of Adelaide City, and life will slow down for a little while. Nestled amidst the lush greenery and vivid backdrop of the Gardens, it's the perfect spot to enjoy a delightful meal or a simple coffee break! Families will appreciate the inviting, fresh air atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and savor their time together while surrounded by all things good. There is plenty of room to easily maneuver a pram and the expansive alfresco dining ensures kids can move about and explore while waiting on their food and drinks. Additionally, you will find accessible bathroom amenities here for everyone. While we love the coffee, the house made focaccia sandwiches and cold pressed juices are incredible, and last but certainly not least (probably our favourite) the granola gives 'luxe honey crackle' vibes and is so beautifully presented that it almost feels like a work of art. The kids menu is…
I'm a Mum of 2 girls and also one 4 legged ratbag of a dog called Rudy. I work from home and family balance out the work/school hours with lots of beach time, walks, bike rides skates, scooters and surfs. We like being outside. Our favourite places in Adelaide are the Adelaide Hills and Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park
